Find a gravel road or grass field. Do alot of hard braking to get the ABS to kick in.. 
On mine i just did the normal two person brake bleeding. Start at the passenger rear, driver rear, passenger front, driver front. Vola.
Then go do alot of brake checks.

I put a 14 bolt in mine that had drums, so I swapped my disc onto it. You have to pull the axles out to get the mounting brackets off. It took me and a buddy about 1.5-2 hours to swap rear ends, including swapping out the brakes.

you were able to just swap brackets from the 10 bolt on to the 14 bolt and use the brakes that were on the 10?
idk if it matters but my rear end is older, from an mid 90s OBS, but its still a 14 bolt SF 6 lug

kind of what I was thinking..im sure with nice pads and discs it will stop just fine..
still trying to decide if I wanna go through the work to put the 14 bolt in or just throw a tru trac in the 10 bolt. i didnt realize i would have to move perches and everything else..thats not a problem but more work than i wanna do right now..plus i have to find a flip kit that would work with that rear end.i blew 2 10 bolts up in my tahoe and now put a tru trac in it and havent had a problem..thats a 6.0 with 24s and 6200 lbs..i would probably be alright in a rcsb with 20s and a tru trac..for now anyway
